Israel in bondage to the Philistines and Ammonites

• Start — Judges 10:6. The year the Philistine's and Ammonite's oppression of Israel began is the year Jair (a Gileadite who judged Israel for twenty-two…)'s time as judge began (2852) + 8 years = 2860
• End — Judges 10:8. The year the Philistine's and Ammonite's oppression ended is the year they began to oppress Israel (2860) + the years of their oppression (18) = 2878

START:*HYPOTHESIS: The year the Philistine and Ammonite oppression of Israel began is 8 years after Jair's time as judge began. [Shulman date p83] [Ussher date p55] END:[Shulman date p83] [Ussher date p55]

Years are anno hominis — counted from Creation as year 1 — which is the frame the source computes in. The arithmetic behind each boundary is given above rather than assumed.
